Baylor and Texas are overrated and UH will do well to be .500 this year.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but you base this on what?

In my opinion, we can't tell much of anything right now. TCU ought to be very good but putting the remaining teams in any kind of order is a crapshoot. Texas, for example, has lost opening series many times over the last few years and still been a very good team. Likewise, I remember the Aggies splitting a series with Northern Colorado in 2008 and almost losing a series to a poor Rutgers team yet winning the Big 12 and playing Rice in a super.

In short, I don't think we'll know much until a few weekends from now at best.

Just my humble opinion but think Baylor is still living on past laurels a little. Their 12-13 conference record last year (36-24 overall) wasn't worthy of a NCAA bid and their recruiting class last year wasn't great either so don't see the preseason top 20 ranking.

As far as Texas I don't think they did enough to replace the offense lost and something is different about Cole Green from the back half of last year.

In the end, time will tell as you say.

That's a fair assessment. I'm always amazed at what some poor teams can become in one year though. For example, Baylor didn't even a winning record (29-31) in 2004, returned most of their guys, and won the Big 12 (and went to the CWS) the next year.

It will be interesting to see what happens.]]>Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:01:15 GMThttp://www.perfectgame.org/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=294

1. TCU2. A&M3. Rice4. Texas5. Texas State

Texas State has a good club, it will be interesting to see how they do the rest of the year. If Smith would have started Friday they would have gone 3-0 in their tourney.]]>Tue, 22 Feb 2011 10:54:57 GMThttp://www.perfectgame.org/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=294
